Duke has had it somewhat rough lately over the past month. They are 19-6 overall, suffered a three-game losing streak in January to unranked opponents, which is the first time they've done so since 1969. They came into Saturday's game versus No. 7-ranked Virginia at 6-4 in the ACC (5th in their conference). Just two weeks ago, the defending national champs fell out of the Top 25 for the first time since 2007.
Needless to say, they needed this win versus the Cavaliers on their record for Bracketology's sake. Also, Coach K turned age 69 on Saturday. So the motivation was on high for the Blue Devils during this matchup inside Cameron Indoor Stadium on Saturday.
Towards the end of regulation, Virginia was up by one point 62-61, and Duke's marquee player Grayson Allen had the ball. He dribbled around looking or a sweet spot to get a shot off, and as he drove left he appeared to take three steps after he picked up his dribble before throwing up a one-handed leaner. The shot went in, Duke won the game 63-62, sending the Cameron Crazies into a frenzy.
But did he travel? If you think so, you can consider this a complete "home no-call."
